What is fait longtemps que tu habites à when translated from French to English?

"Fait longtemps que tu habites à" literally translates to "It's been a long time since you live in".

However, it's more natural in English to say:

"How long have you been living in...?"

You would then add the location after "in".

For example:

* "How long have you been living in Paris?"

* "How long have you been living in the United States?"
